Liverpool will endeavour to prolong their perfect start to the 2024-25 Premier League season when Nottingham Forest stop over at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot has taken nine points from his opening three matches in charge of the Reds, masterminding victories over Ipswich Town, Brentford and most recently Manchester United.
Liverpool's 3-0 beating of the Red Devils two weekends ago saw them head into the international break second in the rankings, only behind Manchester City owing to an inferior goals scored tally.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Tricky Trees, who are ninth in the embryonic table and are also yet to suffer defeat this term.
Harvey Elliott
Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: Unknown
After being sent home from England Under-21s duty, it was revealed that Harvey Elliott had sustained a foot fracture, which will sideline the 21-year-old for around six to eight weeks.
Curtis Jones
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Forest)
Curtis Jones's groin injury has prevented him from featuring in either the win over Brentford or triumph over Man United, but there is optimism that he will be available for the visit of Forest.
Alexis Mac Allister
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Forest)
Alexis Mac Allister was substituted in Argentina's World Cup qualifying match against Chile with what appeared to be an adductor issue, but the midfielder recovered rapidly to feature off the bench against Colombia on September 10 and should therefore be in contention for the weekend.
Federico Chiesa
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Fitness
Possible return date: September 14 (vs. Forest)
New signing Federico Chiesa would have been eligible to make his debut against Man United two weekends ago, but Slot ultimately decided to give him more time to build up his fitness. Having had two weeks to get up to speed, there is a good chance that the Italian will make his first appearance in red this weekend.
